About this home

Looking to move to the 'burbs, but just can't give up all the conveniences of city living? You don't have to. With a "Walk Score" of 87, you can't beat this location. Tucked away off the main drag, this house is less than half a mile to Wyoming Hill Station and only two blocks to charming downtown Melrose with its numerous shops, restaurants, coffee houses and fitness facilities. Multiple nearby MBTA bus stops go to Oak Grove. Recessed lighting, gas fireplace, breakfast bar, central air, newer roof and furnace, refreshed bathroom, new windows & carpet in the sunporch, kitchen with tons of cabinets and first-floor laundry are just a few of the features you will enjoy. Beacon Hill style yard with gravel pathway and perennials. Just enough grass so you won't have to waste your weekends on yard work. Why buy a condo when you can own a home of your own? No condo fees and you're in control.
